Reviews
“Karen Tipper’s painstaking and meticulous reconstruction of the letters has shed light on an aspect of Jane’s life and character that was heretofore unknown. Her publications have raised Jane Wilde from oblivion and have given her life and works the place they deserve in literary history.” – Prof. Mary A. Trottier, Nichols College
“The letters are very revealing of Jane’s intellect, ambition, and accomplishments and also the environment she created for her children that must have encouraged their own intellectual development.” – Prof. Matthew Hobsen, Loyola University
